Uncovering Alleged Azimio MPs Bribery
As the chamber in which the representatives of the people make laws and articulate their interests. The National Assembly’s integrity must always be beyond reproach.
Therefore, actions that cast doubt on the conduct of Congress must never be taken lightly.
The revelation by National Assembly Chief Whip Silvanus Osoro. That some opposition Azimio coalition members were bribed to skip the recent debate on the Finance Bill 2023. Is therefore quite disturbing.
Our democracy is embodied in the National Assembly. Where legislators are expected to debate and vote on issues that benefit the country and its citizens. It is difficult to believe that such honorable individuals could have been bribed to ignore an issue of vital importance.
Although political parties can force their members to support particular policies or vote on motions. Members of parliament are not robots.

In the interest of their voters and other citizens, they must evaluate the issues at hand and reach logical conclusions.
Does the claim that the Kenya Kwanza Alliance may have used dirty tricks to pass the controversial Finance Bill have any merit?
This is an issue that Speaker Moses Wetang’ula must address immediately, as it threatens to discredit and tarnish the August House, which the vast majority of Kenyans hold in high regard.
Can Kenyans continue to have faith in this Parliament if the Speaker of the House does not demand Chief Whip Osoro to provide evidence or identify the allegedly bribed opposition legislators?
Some members of Congress are said to have been bribed to fake illness to avoid voting in the House. The fact that Azimio legislators who were requested to comment on the matter declined to do so should concern everyone, especially the coalition’s leadership.
Could this alleged bribery explain why some MPs who initially opposed the bill vehemently ultimately voted in favor?
To restore the public’s faith in the National Assembly, an assurance is required that nothing of the sort occurred.
